Siemens wins contract for Athens Metro

Siemens has been awarded an order to supply signalling systems for the nearly 16-km-long extension of metro Lines 2 and 3 in the Greek capital. The contract is worth EUR 41 Million.

The first stage will see Lines 2 and 3 equipped with signalling systems after being extended by a total of 8.5 kilometres and seven stations. The second phase will involve the installation of signalling systems on a 7.5-km extension of Line 3. The first phase of the contract will be commissioned in the autumn of 2013.

The signalling extension contract includes the delivery, installation and commission of Sicas electronic interlockings, LZB 705M automatic train control systems and a Vicos 111 operations control system.
